Multifaith Day of Service

Monday, Jan. 16

First held in 2013, the Multifaith Day of Service was organized to honor the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. by creating an opportunity for our member organizations to share common values by participating together in community service projects.

Join Rabbis Feder, Delson, and Plotnik at this year’s Multifaith Day of Service. The day begins with breakfast for volunteers. Then, volunteers will split into groups and work together on over 25 projects that benefit our local community. Projects are family friendly with children 5 and up welcome at most projects.

Living with Mental Illness

Sunday, Jan. 22, 2:00-5:00 pm

Panim-el-Panim is a social justice initiative at PTS that emerged from Kolot, a commitment from the clergy and leadership to foster connections, deepen relationships, and engage in social justice work together as a congregation. Panim-el-Panim is a response to our community’s awareness of the need for bringing understanding and support for teens and young adults battling mental health issues.

Living with mental illness is a challenging road to travel. It is challenging because of the lack of coordinated care, because it is a silent disease, one that is difficult to discuss, because of the immense stigma associated with it and because we do not talk about it enough in our houses of worship.
